“Ideas At The Doorstep”

By Akansha Niranjan

Knock Knock, they knocked,

Nothing but the ideas stood long

Seeing them, I mocked

Looking at my vile grin

What happened? They lamented,

Getting somewhat shrink

After a long wait

Again, they yelled,

To open the gate

Finally, I broke down my silence

Holding myself strongly

To retaliate them without any violence

I asked them to go back

But they pleaded to enter

As they brought dreams in sack

Again, I retoured vociferously

Forbidding them to enter my mind

Just to flaunt there proudly

They gathered so much of courage

To make me understand

Without being afraid of my rage

I'm not allowed to think of you all

As I'm a girl, I mourned

But the only reason for their downfall

Ideas began satisfying me promptly

They told me in promising note

We will let your dreams become reality

Toiling hard to get my self-confidence bind

Ultimately, they made me convinced

To permit them to get in your mind

And with no time, they flourished

Gave me new life to cherish

With the realization of homo sapiens

Manifestly, assisting my desires to nourish
